They don't seem to be the best - roaring fans are common (I think that is DPF regen cycle), and oil up the back of the 20 plates is a common site too.

Roaring fans seems to be very common on Streetlite & StreetDecks.

Could they be from a Cancelled order for a different operator? If they were available at the right price they could have easily been additionally acquired
